Columbia Ability Alliance,
formerly known as Columbia Industries, has been providing impactful programs
and services for individuals with unique abilities in the Tri-Cities community
for over 60 years. Our various nonprofit programs empower our clients with
disabilities and life barriers to achieve personal success. Whether it’s
employment training, community job placement, vocational food service training,
social enrichment services, or connection to community support services via our
resource center, our staff eagerly assist hundreds of individuals each year.
We proudly serve individuals
facing a variety of unique barriers, including developmental and physical
disabilities, individuals facing unstable housing situations, men and women
reentering society after incarceration, individuals working to overcome addiction,
individuals fleeing domestic violence situations, veterans experiencing PTSD
and much more. Our diverse programs provide structure, support and
encouragement for our clients. We recognize that the journey to independence
looks different for everyone, and our team is here to meet those we serve where
they are at.
We are thrilled to partner
with the Benton Franklin Fair for what promises to be the "Best Week of
Summer." Our clients could not be more excited to participate as Grand
Marshals of the Grand Parade as we kick off a week of wonderful fair activities.
And keep your eyes peeled for the Welcome Wagon while attending the fair this
year; our clients will also have the opportunity to greet vendors with a smile
as part of this fantastic partnership opportunity.
At Columbia Ability
Alliance, we are dedicated to breaking down walls that often keep individuals
with disabilities or life barriers from fully participating in all that life
has to offer. By providing opportunities for employment, social inclusion, and community
engagement, we ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, has a seat at the
table (or on the parade float!)
Join us at the Benton
Franklin Fair this summer for an unforgettable week of fun, inclusion, and
celebration of all abilities!
